> OK, I get that part, but how do you make a choice of settings?
I don't have your specific printer, so I downloaded the manual from Canon's web site. It turns out that your printer driver only has the most primitive color controls... which I gotta admit has turned me off of Canon printers. I mean, it's a cheap personal printer with IP printing tossed in so I didn't expect much, but the color controls on that thing suck worse than the cheapest Epson.
That means you've got to do everything from Photoshop. Sorry. That's a bit more work.
Watch the second Adobe video. Preview your images in a Windows RGB color space before you print. Between the two, you should be able to figure out how to make your prints turn out okay.
